Factoring paper is wrong

My apologies but the paper that I thought solved the factoring problem
had a dumb mistake in it, as in a key place while I properly had h_1
h_2 = T^4, in my derivation I was actually using h_1 h_2 = T, which is
how I got what looked to me like a spectacular result.

The error is non-fixable in terms of that approach.

The factoring method itself does work, but so far I haven't gotten it
to work well for decent bitlengths as so far at best it works for
bitlengths of 40 and under, so it's useless at this point for even
approaching RSA.

The problem is determining s, so at this point, my approach of using
surrogate factoring is just a curiousity.
